I love this inspirational speech made by an 87 year old woman " If I had my life over again, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax. I'd limber up. I'd be sillier than I've been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances., I would take more trips, I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and eat more beans. I would perhaps have more troubles but fewer imaginary ones. You see, I'm one of those people who was sensible and sane, hour after hour, day after day.
Oh, I've had my moments. If I had to do it again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else- just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat and a parachute. If I could do it again, I would travel lighter than I have.
If I had my life over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances, I would ride more merry -go-rounds, I would pick more daisies"
